4th year surgical electives advice on being prepared?

For surgical electives for CaRMS, do you need to bring anything like carrying trauma shears for surgery? Should you also review stuff prior to the elective? And do you get to suture? Would love any tips or things to do to stand out (for the right reasons).

What does it mean if a man you’re talking to gives backhanded compliments or comments?

I (25F) am talking to this guy (38M) who knows I’m successful and stable in life. He always makes back handed compliments or comments about me.
For instance, I talked about personality types and ones I don’t like then he said mine was pretty bad. He also gets triggered anytime I go against his mother and sisters way of life and then claims I have an attitude problem.

Lastly he will go on and on about his hobbies that I personally find dangerous - motorcycles. He knows this and keeps bringing them up 24/7 - very boring conversations.

What are your thoughts? Am I overreacting? Why do they make backhanded comments?
